DIAN HANSON´S: THE HISTORY OF MEN´S MAGAZINES - IMPORTADO - VOL. 2

In 460 full-color pages, Volume 2 documents the proliferation of men?s magazines following WWII. Before the war France and Germany were the world?s leading producers; after the war the US surged ahead. When a little magazine called Playboy debuted in December 1953 a new breed of sophisticated imitators followed. And when America redefined its obscenity laws in 1957 scores of new and more revealing titles followed. Volume II also covers the early evolution of English men?s magazines, profiles the top five covergirls of the 1950s, and ends with the hilarious ads from the magazines? back pages. Male girdles, anyone? This hardcover volume is a fascinating instant collectable all on its own, and a must have to complete the six volume set of Dian Hanson?s: The History of Men?s Magazines.
